Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Oblivious To Our Flaws

We're feeling thoroughly swamped by
waves and waves of smiling faces.
And as the crowd breaks into cheers,
we proudly mark our paces.

With arms extended and knees bent,
facing forward, we barely blink.
And left-right-left-right-left, our boots
strike the pavement in perfect sync.  

Left-left, left-right-left, drums the beat,
pulling our invisible strings.
And as friendly faces flash by,
we strut as if our feet had wings.

Precision moves, receive a roar,
of instant jubilant applause.
And we're feeling so empowered, 
we're oblivious to our flaws.
